Fenton Art Glass @ Berry Patch Gifts

Nobody makes baskets like Fenton! Fenton started creating baskets in the late 1930s. Attaching a basket handle requires a great deal of skill. There's less than 30 seconds to attach and shape a handle before the glass cools and is no longer workable.

In the 1950s, company President Frank M. Fenton and his brother Bill Fenton, who was Vice-President, decided that each Fenton basket handler should have a distinctive mark so collectors could identify the artisan who created their basket. These marks are impressed at the base of each side of the handle. To learn more about basket handler marks, click here.
